DDA Chapter 7

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Mine want to see Indy too, so that is a possibility if next weekend is a wash-out.

There was a really cute preview for a new Disney movie called Chihuahua's. I hope the movie is as cute as the preview.

We'll definitely go see Indy, because that's one that DH wants to see, too. Not sure about the others.

We went to the Member breakfast at the zoo yesterday and DS actually said he was GLAD he didn't go to Six Flags!
We went to the new stingray exhibit where you hold a minnow or shrimp and the rays come by and eat right from your hand. VERY cool! We also rode the "SpongeBob 4D" ride. The 3D effects are not as good as WDW (of course) and the ride is like Star Tours but is rough like Dinosaur. I am adding it to my "been there, done that" list. But we will definitely feed the rays again. Even though I despise putting my hands in water like that it was so cool that I will do it again.

Anne Marie - what is playing up there now? How much should I expect to pay for tickets?

There was a Disney Visa discount for Mary Poppins - not sure if it is still valid.

Anne Marie - Do you REALLY want to know where we are eating in August?

8/1 - Cali Grill
8/2 - Coral Reef
8/3 - Yak & Yeti (Although I am kind of on the fence about this one now.)
8/4 - Flying Fish
8/5 - Crystal Palace, Kona (my birthday)
8/6 - Tutto Italia
8/7 - Chef Mickey's, Citrico's
8/8 - Ohana, Yachtsman
8/9 - Tusker House, Wolfgang Puck Cafe
8/10 - Boma, Narcoosee's

Most of what I have been moving around are EARLY breakfasts and signature dinners which are probably less popular than other things. Plus, there are only 3 of us. I know when we travel with the Uncles there are fewer choices for a party of 5.

Happy Birthday Beth

Happy Birthday Beth


Elin Your daughters are beautiful and you all looked so happy Congratulations.


Debbie Congratulations to both your graduates. They look so happy.


We're off to another Lacrosse game. This one is about an hour away. Maybe we'll tie today. I don't want to set my expectations to high.

We did manage to empty the outside storage area of our camper and got that all cleaned out and reorganized. Another thing off our to do list.

Mary Poppins is a wonderful show. I was very impressed with it, however I would see that with my kids & choose something else if it was just me & Dana.

You have alot of my favorites in there! Have you been to Flying Fish? we walked passed it every day on our way back to the resort from the Boardwalk & it looked really nice. I was also on the fence about Y&Y & we ended up cancelling that one.

I am trying to get an idea of the food to server at Dawn's 40th birthday party. Yes I like to plan ahead.
Her birthday is December 24th, (of course it will be before the actual date) so we will need hot food.

So far I have...
Mac & Cheese
Baked Ziti
Tater-Tot Casserole
BBQ Chicken
What else would your serve? there will be about 26 people.

We have not been there before, but it is supposed to be good. AND I am supposed to get my birthday cake that night so I can have one just like Kristine's (minus the Figment).

I am waffling on Yak & Yeti because the ADR is 6:30 and the park closes at 8 PM. I think it might be better to grab CS somewhere and enjoy the park instead of sitting in a restaurant until the park closes. So we'll see. DH saw some really cool night photos from AK, so he wants to go for PM EMH one night. I guess we can go to Y&Y the first night and come back on PM EMH. I don't think we've EVER been at AK past 4:30 PM so it would be neat to see it in the dark!

Heidi - I am no good with party food unless it involves toddlers - sorry!

My credit for the room cancellation is showing on my Disney Visa. That didn't take 2 billing cycles at all!

We really enjoyed Yak & Yeti. That is a restaurant that we will do again. Even the girls enjoyed it. We also stayed at AK until after dark in March for the first time ever. It was really neat. I'm glad we did this.

I came in on the last half of The Pixar Story on Starz Kids and Family channel. What a show!!! It comes on again at 10:00pm today. I'm going to DVR it.

It told the story of Toy Story I and II, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, Bug's Life and The Incredibles. Wow.

We had our now traditional Sunday night dinner. Glynis' pot roast. Yummy. We had sweet corn on the cob with mashed sweet potatoes. I just sliced the strawberries for shortcake tonight.

Off to do 2 loads of and to clean up my bedroom before Desperate Housewife's season finale.

I'll have to catch up later, but I just wanted to let anyone who gets STARZ to look for that show. I can't wait to see the beginning...

We have another loss under our belt. The good news is that we played very well in the second half and if we could play an entire game like that then we could win. Both Nick and Hunter played very well today, they were much more aggressive then they had been.

I stopped at Kohl's on the way home to return a couple of things. Of course I ran smack into a clearance rack and couldn't resist. Men's Columbia fleece jackets were marked $9 and I had an additional 30% off I also found some Disney themed socks on clearance for me. From there I went to Walmart. I found el cheapo flip flops for the boys to shower in at FW. I also found a cute Tinkerbell swimsuit cover up for me.
